Table Thai Massage
Developed in India and making its way to Thailand there are different versions practiced depending on what region it was from. This style is from Northern Thailand and is slower and deeper, with notes of yoga movements and positions.
It combines active aware breathing with strong compressions, stretching and rhythmic rocking movements to help support your organs, joints, tendons, ligaments and muscles increase range of motion, flexibility and relieve tension and stress.
Because Thai massage involves physical movement, you’re encouraged to wear clothing that allows for full range of motion without being hindered. Clients have found that wearing sweat pants and loose shirts or yoga clothing allowed them to feel comfortable throughout the session.
This is an “actively relaxing” massage helping to increase your awareness of your body, breath and energy.

What to Expect
Before your appointment session:
- Before and after your session, space is held to communicate what’s happening in your life and discuss ideas, plans and light conversation. All of this develops and builds the therapeutic relationship and helps me develop a massage/wellness plan according to your present situation.
- It would be beneficial to you to not eat a big meal or drink caffeine.
- It would additionally benefit you to stay hydrated before and after your session.
- Allow for a space (approximately 10 feet x 12 feet) that will accommodate a massage table and room to move around it.
- Please indicate if you would prefer to use your own linens, oil/lotion, or music during the session. Otherwise, these all are provided.
- Please refrain from wearing any perfumes or scented lotions.
- The intent during your session is not a social one. You are encouraged to actively participate in your session by being aware of your body while I am working with you.
- It is important to me that you have a safe, positive, and healing experience. To do this, I will “check in” with you throughout the session, by asking you how you’re doing. Remember the session is about YOU, please don’t hesitate to communicate any preferred adjustments.
- You are encouraged to allow for additional time after your session to fully integrate the experience.
- After your session, it’s not uncommon to experience decontamination. This may include; feeling muscle soreness, needing more rest, or needing to use the bathroom more frequently, to name a few.
- You may experience energetic changes such as; feeling pressures in or around your body, energetic “sparklies” (the electrical movement of energy), ah-ha moments of realization, vivid dreams afterwards, and feeling to be quiet and rest, to name a few.
